Why This Stage Matters

In the first year, babies are learning to move, explore, and connect. Play supports milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling, and social interaction. The right toys can encourage these skills while keeping play joyful and safe.

Key Developmental Milestones

Reaching and grasping toys (3-4 months)
Rolling over, sitting with support (6 months)
Babbling, responding to sounds (6-9 months)
Crawling, pulling to a stand (9-12 months)
Social Smiles (2-3 months)
